New Minister for Indigenous Australians, Malarndirri McCarthy told RN Breakfast she wanted to reach across the aisle in parliament to help Close the Gap on indigenous disadvantage. 

Shadow Opposition spokesperson for Indigenous Affairs says that while she's open to a bipartisan approach, but this demonstrates the Government "doesn't know what the way forward is" when it comes to Closing the Gap. 

The Senator says she's far more interested in "practical and common sense ways forward than empty words."
